Use MediaWiki:Newpageintro for the text above the edit window. And a
template such as Template:Newriverpage to populate a new page that is called
from an entry in an inputbox (install the inputbox extension -
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Inputbox). The inputbox should be
called in a similar manner as the following:
<inputbox>
type=create
editintro=MediaWiki:Newpageintro
preload=Template:NewOrganizationpage
width=35
break=no
</inputbox>
<noinclude>
[[Category:Rivers]]
</noinclude>
We use this at

We use MediaWiki:Newpageintro for the text above the edit screen, and
templates like Template:NewOrganizationpage to populate a new page started
by creating a page using the following inputbox
Template:Organizationinputbox, which can be seen at -

Good luck.

I have a MediaWiki page listing all the rivers of the world [not
really] as local hyperlinks. Whenever someone creates a "river page"
by clicking on the link, I want the page automatically populated with
a "river template".
Can I do this?
I realize I could pre-populate all the river pages with the river
template, but, of the one million river links, I only expect about
100K of them to ever be created, and it seems like a waste of space to
create 1 million template pages when I'll only need 100K.
